It seems like catching up on this blog seems to be put on the back burner in life. Everything has been going well for us. Just BUSY!!!!! Not to mention it got hot quick, we have already had a few days over 100 degrees already. The kids have a little wading pool in the back yard and a fun sprinkler they are enjoying. I just keep hoping it will cool off for a few more weeks.
Audrey is teething and now has 6 teeth with 4 more ready to pop through any day. She is such a fun little girl. She has gotten very affectionate and much more friendly with other people. There are 2 mom's of kids in Charlie's kindergarten class that she just loves. Any time she sees Tessa or Marty she toddles over to them hugs their legs and puts her arms up to be picked up. Then she will just rest her little head on their shoulders and sit there as long as they will hold her. It is very cute! She is starting to talk more and more each day, while she doesn't have a huge vocabulary she can definitely get her point across. She says tank - for thank you and she has learned
muur- for more. I am working on please with her and she seems to be getting what I am saying, she just can't form it yet. Her favorite word is now Maaama that she will sit and yell until I come to her or do what ever she wants done.
Annie is getting so big, she is almost done with her first year of preschool and I am impressed with all she has learned. She wants to be a big kid so much! She has mastered her scooter and not that we would tell Charlie but is much better at it then him - I think she is just fearless on it so she is more adventurous and willing to go crazy with it! She is still taking ballet and is getting ready for her first ballet recital in June. She has definitely gotten into a
Whining stage that we are trying to break her of. When she whines I put my hands on my ears and tell her I can't hear her, it always seems to result in some eye rolling and then she will lower her voice.
Charlie has taken up golf with his dad! In fact he even got his own clubs & has already hit a ball through a window! I know John and Charlie are enjoying the time together. I am going to sign Charlie up for Jr Golf out here in RM for the summer. I think he will love it. Kindergarten is almost over for Charlie. I will be sad for him to leave his teacher, Mrs.
Wathen, I just love her but he is ready for first grade and keeps telling me how many day's left he has until then. He is learning so much and having a great time in Kindergarten. Right now his class is studying a life cycle unit so they are raising silk worms, they also have a bunch of
caterpillars that are making
cocoons and they are raising chickens from eggs. They have a neat
incubator in their class that they can see inside the egg (it is back lit in the incubator). Charlie is doing great in baseball. He seems to be really catching on to it and is turning into a great hitter (he can hit it out into the outfield and has had some great line drives past 2nd). Last Saturday he played catcher at his game and he caught over 1/2 the balls which is better than anyone else on the team has done.
John and I are doing good, just busy. I helped out at Charlie's school for Teacher appreciation week and that was lots of fun, now we are working on field day on the last day of school. I get to go on Charlie's field trip tomorrow to the farm and I am helping out with Annie's preschool graduation so it has been lots of committee meetings, but it has been fun and I have really enjoyed getting to meet a bunch of mom's out here.
